Dan Wesson just released a PM-C all Stainless CCO sized 1911 in 9mm. I'm contemplating selling my newly acquired nickel 226 to pick one of these up. I love CCO sized guns for carry. 1911's and Kahr pistols are all I can think of in a single stack gun that's readily available in 9mm.

If you're willing to consider aluminum alloy frames instead of all steel, there are also the Sigs previously mentioned (P239 and P225), a couple S&W 3rd Gens like the 3913 or CS9, and the Beretta 92 Compact Type M (tough to find, though).

Other than a 1911 type pistol, the Kahr MK9 elite 2003 came to mind. I wonder how much a p239 would weigh with a steel frame. In steel I would also recommend the CZ 75 compact. The grip is slightly thicker than the p239 but you get 6 extra rounds.

Star Firestar. May not fit the "quality" criteria, but mine worked ok. And I'm pretty sure the Star BM had a steel frame. Mine was a pretty nice pistol, but I had a friend that wanted to swap even for his GP100.

I am constantly amazed at the number of times Dan Wesson guns are brought up in threads such as these. Hells bells, DW production doesn't amount to a pimple on a bulls arse.
